Not knowing the details this time round, I do remember that the organising of the event last summer was a huge nightmare for Beetroot. Lots of people signed up initially and then pulled out, which would have been just a tad inconvenient if you were relying on people sharing out some of the costs involved. It is hard to get this right, but I'm not that surprised that Beetroot (or anyone else) would not signup for the same hassle again.
